The ongoing FIFA World Cup is dubbed by many, both critics and fans to be among the best editions ever. And one main reason is the rise of ‘giant killers’ aka the less-hyped sides who despite not boasting of an international star have risen to the occasion and shown big teams the door. The ouster of defending champions, Germany in the group stage was no fluke because the Round of 16 proved no amount of being heavyweights would help a side sail through if their performance was below par. In the opening match of pre-quarters, in-form France dumped Argentina led by their talismanic captain Lionel Messi 4-3, and on the same day, Uruguay ousted Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal riding high on better teamwork.

All the eight matches of the round of 16 stage went down to the wire. Three matches were decided in penalties, while in other games, teams were neck-to-neck until the last minute. Here’s the match results of 2018 FIFA World Cup round of 16 games: France defeated Argentina 4-3 in match 1, Uruguay defeated Portugal 2-1 in match 2, Russia beat Spain 4-3 (penalties) in match 3, Croatia beat Denmark 3 - 2 (penalties) in match 4, Brazil defeated Mexico 2-0 in match 5, Belgium defeated Japan 3-2 in match 6, Sweden defeated Switzerland 1-0 in match 7 and England beat Colombia 4 - 3 (penalties) in match 8.
